My Latest Reads

I have been stitching so much that I have been neglecting my reading. I love to read almost as much as I love to stitch though, so I decided to make a concerted effort to spend at least an hour a day reading. Well, when a book grabs me like these two did, that hour leads to many more hours!

I bought Stephen King's Revival when it came out, but I didn't pick it up again until last week. I stayed up late to finish it a few nights ago. It is not one of King's best - I mean, when you are as prolific as he is you won't hit a home run every time. Still, Revival is definitely a good read. As usual King develops some great characters that hook you and make you want to know what happens to them. Just be warned, the ending is a little bleak. Or, at least it was for me.

Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects is another book with great characters. The plot is not quite as complicated as the one in Gone Girl, the book she is most famous for, but it does take unexpected twists and turns and just when you think you have it figured out, you realize that you don't.
